WoW newbie looking for advice

[Monkey]

On Terenas, a level 13 Tauren Druid named Thrak has just arrived in the Badlands (Crossroads).:)

Just to nitpick, but you're in the Barrens. The Badlands are on another continent.:)

I'd recommend swapping herbalism for mining for low-level earning power. The main "money" herbs are high level ones, but there's always demand for a range of gems and ores because Blacksmithing, Engineering, and Jewelcrafting all draw from mining, and all three professions are popular for alts and for people changing professions at 70.
